This is a plush spa + skin clinic + salon located in the luxurious fashion hub in Mehrauli {right next to Manish Malhotra’s boutique}. Dr Simal Soin, the founder of Aayna, is a renowned cosmetic dermatologist and is known for her Thermage and Botox treatments.
Apart from all the derma jazz, the clinic also offers a weight management programme, a soul clinic, and a foot clinic that gives highly unusual {and therapeutic} foot treatments.
The Margaret Dabbs foot treatment. The only spa {at least out of the one’s we’ve been to} that offers a waterless and mess-free {you don’t even have to change your clothes} pedicure! It’s more of a treatment than a pedicure, with emu oil and serums.
The session began with the usual nail-cutting-filing-buffing process. It was quite amusing to see that all of these tools were new and packed; they never re-use their tools. Cuticles were taken care of with yet another amusing machine that sounded like a drilling machine, but turned out to be super gentle.
With some more scrubbing and polishing, the session ended with a relaxing foot massage.
The serums and oil felt rather light on the skin, as opposed to the greasy foot-creams that one has to bear with during pedicures, and my nails looked as shiny as extensions. It’s been a week and they look just as great, and I have no plans of wearing nail paint anytime soon!
Brownie points to them for their hospitality. They indeed make you feel at home, except better.
For those who’re looking for a luxurious pamper-session on a weekend, this gorgeous looking spa {with everything under one roof} is the place to be. Apart from their Margaret Dabbs foot treatment, we also recommend their hydra-facial if you’re looking for a rejuvenating facial treatment.
Price: INR 5,500 for Margaret Dabbs Foot Treatment
